For some reason this function (but not mcrypt_list_algorithms()) returns each element in the array twice. If you have this problem, try array_unique(mcrypt_list_algorithms()).
mcrypt_enc_get_algorithms_name
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5)
mcrypt_enc_get_algorithms_name — Returns the name of the opened algorithm
Description
string mcrypt_enc_get_algorithms_name
( resource
$td
)This function returns the name of the algorithm.
Parameters
-
td
-
The encryption descriptor.
Return Values
Returns the name of the opened algorithm as a string.
Examples
Example #1 mcrypt_enc_get_algorithms_name() example
<?php
$td = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_CAST_256, '', MCRYPT_MODE_CFB, '');
echo mcrypt_enc_get_algorithms_name($td). "\n";
$td = mcrypt_module_open('cast-256', '', MCRYPT_MODE_CFB, '');
echo mcrypt_enc_get_algorithms_name($td). "\n";
?>
The above example will output:
CAST-256 CAST-256
